Books for July, 2005
Aug. 4th, 2005 08:33 pmRewards and Fairies by Rudyard Kipling. First time read. A series of short stories, set off by poems, this is actually a sequel to another work I haven't read yet, Puck of Pook's Hill. I found this pleasurable, but I'll admit that not much has stuck with me on it.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling. First time read. My reaction recorded at length here (spoilers).
Fudoki by Kij Johnson (
kijjohnson). Re-read. Reaction on this time through. Um, fervent jealousy.
The Facts of Life, by Graham Joyce (lent to me by
kiramartin). First time read. Interesting. I liked the ghosts. This won the 2003 World Fantasy Award, I believe.
The Bastard's Tale by Margaret Frazier. First time read.
The Hunter's Tale by Margaret Frazier. First time read. These two are part of the Dame Frevisse mystery series, and I will continue to buy and read any that come out. Alas, I wonder if there will be many more. I hear that her cancer has come back for the third time.
